Ready for Gaga's new movie that premiered at Cannes the other day?
Quote:
"The film permits itself a single note of humor when it captures a bizarre interview of Assange by a black-clad Lady Gaga, who gets a laugh when she expresses shock at his cramped living quarters. She asks personal questions, which he dodges (“What does it matter how I feel?”) while filming him on a tiny vidcamera (as she is obviously being filmed herself by Poitras’ crew). As he rattles off a seemingly endless list of agencies and institutions who have him in their sights, Gaga cuts to the chase with a curt: “So, a lot of people are after you, eh?”
Cast: Julian Assange, Sarah Harrison, Jacob Appelbaum, Lada Gaga, Daniel Ellsberg"
The political event of the decade. Lest we forget that Chelsea Manning had smuggled out the largest government data breech in world history on a burnt copy of some Gaga CD. I remember her meeting Assange years ago. Thought it was only a picture.
